PvP team comps

mohio

Hey guys - me again with yet another roster question. First, as everyone always likes to know, my relevant roster for this question is the following:

128 LT (2/5/5)
115 LC (3/5/5)
115 Punisher (3/5/5)
85 OBW (4/5/4) - still not getting that 5th black, argh!
(various other 3-stars with 1-9 covers that aren't good enough yet, if you really want to know, ask and I'll be happy to share)

I prioritized maxing LT after the last tourney he was rewarded in gave me the 3 covers needed to bring him to 2/5/5, and since then I leveled Punisher a bunch for his 2 PvPs and have otherwise mostly saved my iso. The team I have been using for PvP over the past 3+ weeks has basically just been LT + OBW + featured hero, usually pretty weak if not lvl 23/loaner.

My question for all you helpful MPQers out there is actually two things. One, is that the best team I can make? During Falcon PvP I played Punisher + OBW for a while, but this team felt way too squishy and I just went right back to LT/OBW. The other part of the question is, I have the iso (~65k) to bring either LC or Punisher to 141. Should I invest in one of these guys or just save the iso for finishing LT whenever I get that last red and a more ideal partner for him?

Also I guess 3rd question: As I haven't started SHIELD Sim yet I haven't tinkered around with it at all - is LT/Pun/OBW going to be my best team? Better off with LC over Pun?

I see a lot of LT + OBW teams, so that comp must be doing something right. LT + OBW is an especially good defense against other OBW teams, since you can counter-steal, and OBW's heal obviously increases stamina.

However, for sheer damage output, LT + Rogers would probably the best buck for your buck. The problem with LT + Punpun is that they share green as their primary color. I haven't really leveled my Rogers, and instead run CMags + LT/Punpun, but some Djangoliers (who don't have a big LT) run Rogers + Punpun, and they're big fans of that comp.

For a full three-man team, I'd go with LT + Rogers + OBW for color coverage and minimal power overlap.

As for your Iso, I'd save enough to max LT when you get that third red, but dump the rest into Rogers. If LT wasn't your primary, Punpun would probably be a better bet than Rogers, but Punpun doesn't play well with LT, and you're not a fan of the Punpun + OBW team-up.

It's not that I don't like PunPun/OBW together, I actually will switch to that if I want to boost through a couple quick matches since it's usually faster than using LT. It's just that at least at 115, I was finding he would actually die sometimes to cascades + abilities, where LT with his huge HP advantage would have almost half his life still. When you're running basically a 2 player team, losing the main damage dealer is pretty bad. Maybe at 141 he has enough of a cushion to withstand more and that's less of a problem? This is part of why I asked for other opinions, since my own experience might not be totally representative of the way things usually are.

Thanks for the reply though! Appreciate all the help and viewpoints I can get.
